Rural Immigration: RNIP (Closed) and the RCIP

Status: the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) has ended; the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) is open. RNIP ended on August 31, 2024. Applications received by that date are still being processed.

Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP)

RCIP offers permanent residence to skilled workers who want to work and settle in rural and more remote communities. IRCC selected 14 communities. You need a job offer from an employer designated by a participating community, and you must meet the pilot’s requirements.

How to approach it

  1. Check IRCC’s RCIP page for the communities and who can apply.
  2. Check the priority occupations and designated employers published by the community.
  3. Get a qualifying job offer, then get a recommendation from the community before applying for permanent residence.
